Last quote by Kate McKinnon

For centuries dudes have been able to get into sticky situations and get themselves out of them and run around and just act foolish without there being a romance at the end of it. Typically if a woman is in a comedy she's just there to get married or wag a finger at the men acting foolish. It's such a breath of fresh air to be the one acting foolish and to be the one getting messy and making mistakes. Comedy is the great equalizer. You want all characters, male and female, to look good and bad, ridiculous and powerful, for the opposite sex to have a better understanding of each other.feedback

Zoë Kravitz is a great lady. Blair is so uptight and Zoë is so cool in real life. I think that her coolness in real life is adding another dimension to this character and it's really cool to watch.feedback

Ilana Glazer is what we call a spitfire. You give her something to do and she just – it snaps, it crackles, it pops. She makes everything so much her own and she's such a cool character in real life.
